I'm having a daughter!

We found out today our suspicion was correct, we are having a baby girl! Now help me with this name struggle lol We both love the name Brooke, but I kind of like Brooklyn for the full name. Her middle name will be Mackenzie after my sister/her godmother. What do you guys think? (Thanks in advance I posted this in the August group but have heard good things about this one and wanted to also see what everyone else thought)

Many people don't like when someone tacks 'lyn' on to the end of a name, but in this case Brooklyn is already a real place, not a name you made up. I know a couple Brooklyn's and the name is really cute on them!

Thank you! Now I'm just wondering if she will go by Brooke maybe I should just have her name be Brooke I just can't shake how much I like Brooklyn..

What do you like about each name? They have such different feels to me. Brooke is simple. Classy. Grown up. Effortless. It's a nature-name that is more sophisticated than hippy (neither of those are good or bad, just different). Brooklyn, though, seems trendy and young.

I'd figure out what feel you want and decide from there.

They are very different I think I love Brooklyn because it sounds feirce and she could always go by Brooke as she gets older or if her personality fits it better, but if her name is Brooke I'll have to do away with Brooklyn completely

Brooke feels more classic and Brooklyn feels more tack-a-lyn trendy. I dont mind it as much as the other Lynn names but still feel it will definitely date her to this generation. I don't like any Mc names but seeing as how it is a middle name, it isn't too big a deal, either way. I really do think Brooke is nice though! Good luck!
